Introducing our NEW Horizon fleet!

Alice Jones

May 21, 2018

Le Boat is proud to introduce to you the next generation of river cruiser, the envy of the European waterways. We carefully listened to our customers and challenged ourselves to design a range of boats that tick all of the boxes in terms of space, ease of handling, accessibility and on-board features. We have further developed the original Horizon model to create three more versions; the Horizon 2-S, the Horizon 3 and the Horizon 4, all of which follow the same design, level of luxury and comfort but on bigger boats.

Over the winter we have set out to build 45 brand new boats, all ready for April 2017. From spring 2017, larger parties will be able to enjoy the Horizon design concept on a range of bigger boats with more en-suite cabins. In addition, the Horizon models will be made available in more of our popular European destinations allowing you to travel in luxury wherever you choose to go!

New Horizon 2-S

Sleeps: 5 (4+1) / 2 cabins + saloon

Size: 11.5m in length x 4.2m beam

If you’re travelling as two couples and want a little extra privacy, the Horizon 2-S boat is perfect as it has two en-suite cabins. The master bedroom is smaller, and the second bathroom does not have a separate shower cubicle, otherwise this boat enjoys the same spacious saloon and sundeck as our first Horizon model.

Features of the Horizon

These floor plans show the differences between each of our new Horizon models.

Our original Horizon was designed with couples in mind:

Sleeps: 4 (2+2) / 1 master cabin + 1 smaller cabin

Size: 11.5m in length x 4.2m beam

Built by the world-renowned boat builders, Delphia, this innovative cruiser features the latest equipment, is designed for comfort and is spacious inside and out! The interior of the Horizon offers a roomy and comfortable saloon with generous headroom throughout. There are large sliding glass doors leading to the outside seating area at the rear for a 360° view from the saloon. A common feature of all Horizon models is the bright and spacious forward double state room. The arrangements of other cabins and bathrooms differ from each model so you can choose the design which is most suitable for your party. The kitchen is well equipped and an air-cooling system is installed in all areas of the boat to ensure you are cruising in optimum levels of comfort.

One of the Horizon’s main unique selling points is its spacious sundeck, which is otherwise referred to as the ‘FUNdeck’ and is the largest of any boat of its type on the waterways. There are even waterproof speakers on deck allowing you to plug in your personal MP3 device and cruise to the sounds of your choice. Everything you could need for a relaxing cruise day or night.

New Horizon 3

Sleeps: 7 (6+1) / 2 cabins + saloon

Size: 13.5m in length x 4.3m beam

The Horizon 3 is a bigger boat, allowing larger parties to holiday together. It sleeps up to 7 guests with one master cabin at the end of the boat and two smaller cabins, all with the privacy of their own en-suite bathrooms.
